Bourbon French – White Ginger

I have no idea if the oil of the Hawaiian White Ginger Lily carries its own scent or if, like the Gardenia, it has no scent, necessitating the creation of a scent by mixing other oils. The scent of this flower is likened by reviewers to Jasmine.

The Bourbon French White Ginger is entirely different, coming closest in my olfactory experience to that of the banana-like Ylang Ylang, without any hint of Jasmine. If you recall a soft candy of the 20th century in the shape of a peanut with the scent of banana, company name Spangler, then you have an approximation of the over-all effect here.

If I ever actually inhale the aroma of a White Ginger Lily, I will edit this review, comparing the Bourbon French creation to the real thing. Until then, I can at least recommend this lovely soliflore as a beautiful and exotic floral.
